From the rates published for SHOT Show 2027 at Venetian Expo (Freeman). Electrical, booth space, your booth, travel and shipping to the warehouse are extra, and so are labor minimums, supervision and special handling surcharges. Small shipments may be billed at a minimum charge. Your contractor's invoice and order forms are the final word.
